..The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of serum progesterone (P) levels on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration on embryo quality and pregnancy rate in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles...

..To examine ovarian reserve following chemotherapy in women with Hodgkin's disease...

..To describe isolation and in vitro maturation of primary oocytes from the ovarian cortex in the presence of hypothalamic pituitary down-regulation...

..Nineteen MII oocytes were retrieved, and all were fertilized, yielding high-quality embryos. Two embryos were transferred, and the patient conceived and recently gave birth to a healthy singleton...

..We investigated whether hereditary thrombophilia is more prevalent in women with recurrent IVF-embryo transfer failures...

..Mg levels were significantly higher in follicular fluid than in serum. Ca2+ and Mg2+ may play a role in the preovulatory follicle, a possibility that warrants further study...

..Clarification of the actual risk of ovarian involvement and any subsequent risk of micrometastases and tumor reimplantation requires further investigation...

..CONCLUSION(s): In couples with unexplained infertility, the PR may be improved by combining IUI and FT-ET with ovulation induction. Performing IUI before thawing may prevent treatment cancellation in cycles with no surviving embryos...

..The presence of interleukin-18 (IL-18) in serum and pre-ovulatory follicular fluid (FF) and its possible correlation to in-vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF/ET) outcome and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) development...

....

..To examine whether double transfer of embryos on day 2-3 and on day 5 after ovum pick-up (OPU) improves IVF/ET success rates in patients with multiple consecutive IVF failures..

..To evaluate the outcome of ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women undergoing fertility preservation prior to chemotherapy compared with healthy patients with infertility due to tubal factor...

..Therefore, the data suggest that follicular apoptosis might be a consequence of the freezing and thawing procedure. This may be used as a method for evaluating and comparing the outcome of different freezing/thawing protocols...

..To assess ovarian response among carriers of FMR1 premutation who undergo preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)...

..05) adverse influence of planning and self-restraint. Being sexually active during the IVF-treatment period was found to be positively associated (p < .05) with the likelihood of conception and with adaptive coping strategies...

..To evaluate IVF-surrogate pregnancy in a patient with ovarian transposition after radical hysterectomy for carcinoma of the cervix...

..Discussion. Women with good prognosis who wish to bear children in the future should be offered fertility preservation options before chemotherapy, even if the likelihood of permanent ovarian failure appears to be negligible...

....

..Embryo transport depends on concomitant intrauterine fluid motion induced by uterine wall motility, the result of spontaneous myometrial contractions towards the fundus...

..To analyze the genetic composition of oocytes and embryos presenting abnormal fertilization...

..To test whether the follicular fluid (FF) concentration of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is associated with oocyte maturation, fertilization rate, and embryonic development in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing IVF...

..This study aimed to investigate meiotic spindle assembly in correlation to time elapsed after HCG administration, and to determine whether spindle imaging may serve to indicate the likelihood of fertilization and embryo cleavage...

..09 +/- 0.5 kg. Major congenital anomalies, postnatal hypoglycemia, symptomatic polycythemia or neonatal death were not recorded. CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that LAGB is safe for both mother and newborn during gestation and delivery...

..This study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for fragile X, and to assess the transmission rate of the abnormal FMR1 alleles in this setting...

..CONCLUSION: Triplex-nested PCR using 2 of 11 DMD loci and the SRY gender marker allow PGD for >90% of DMD families with known deletions. These protocols are associated with a high amplification efficiency and accuracy...

..To investigate the incidence of embryos' self-correction during preimplantation development in terms of mosaicism and in correlation with its developmental stage...
